Some details about this photo diary from the description on Amazon:

It will contain pictures taken by Minami from September 2014 to December 2015 and uploaded to her 755 and Twitter accounts. There will be pictures of herself and others, in work and personal settings, for a total of around 800 pictures selected out of an initial batch of 3,000 or so.

There will also be columns on food and fashion, a collection of Takamina's memorable/wise-sayings from her 755 account, an 'Ask Takamina' column with questions from AKB48 group members, etc.

From what I'm reading, it seems like many, if not all, of the pictures will be ones that have already been posted on her social media accounts. Still, it's a huge number of pictures for a single book, and the projected total of 256 pages (according to Rakuten) is a lot for a photobook.

Spoiler: If you are interested in how this book came about:

Late August of last year, Minami wrote that she would like to release a photobook of pictures she has taken herself,
http://7gogo.jp/takahashi-minami/18056

and held an open call for publishers.
http://7gogo.jp/takahashi-minami/18058

Kobunsha editor-in-chief Aoki Hiroyuki 'took the bait,'
http://7gogo.jp/flash-special/3863

and he got the permission from Akimoto Yasushi to pursue this project.

For some reason, this part is making me excited about the photobook lol. I'm really interested in what she has to say about food and fashion.

 

@Bort Thank you for all you information ^.^

Only 20 copies left for pre-ordering on CD Japan as of right now. Still debating whether I should buy this or not. XD

 

I ordered it now and there are still 18 copies left so I hope there are some pre order bonuses

^ Besides the handshake ticket? Yes, a poster version of the cover would be nice, hehe.

I'm only debating because I'm broke (again) and I don't get enough money from my current job to pay for stuff besides the necessities..otherwise I would have clicked on that pre-order button immediately. XD

 

The only bonus items I'm seeing so far are stickers (of Minami, her cat and her sayings).

The books has been confirmed to be 256 pages long, with around 820 photos.

If I had to guess, I think the book would be similar in size to the most recent AKB48 Kaigai Ryoko Nikki.

I'm hoping that there are at least some original contents in terms of photos, perhaps ones she may have taken but never posted. Even the cover photo is 'recycled.' https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBV3XQVUkAAHhZi.jpg

I do find it somewhat ironic that someone who seemed so averse to using social media not even two years ago ends up being the first member to release a huge book of her social media photos.

 

[Please excuse the double post.]
